We construct a new equilibrium dynamics of infinite particle systems in a Riemannian manifold X. This dynamics is an analog of the Kawasaki dynamics of lattice spin systems. The Kawasaki dynamics now is a process where interacting particles randomly hop over X. We establish conditions on the a priori explicitly given symmetrizing measure and the generator of this dynamics, under which a corresponding conservative Markov processes exists. We also outline two types of scaling limit of the equilibrium Kawasaki dynamics: one leading to an equilibrium Glauber dynamics in continuum ( a birth-and-death process), and the other leading to a diffusion dynamics of interacting particles ( in particular, the gradient stochastic dynamics).
